You are studying a eukaryotic gene in which translation normally begins at the second AUG in the mRNA (underlined). The sequence surrounding both AUGs is  CGGAUGCACAGGACAUCCUACCUACGGAGAUGA.... Predict the effects of the following mutations on the translation of this mRNA. Present the new sequence, highlight the changes in the sequence and consider the best context for translation. a.    Change the first and second C to G b.    Change the first and second C to G and also change the UAC codon before the second AUG to UAG.
